Could you elaborate on what CME micro Bitcoin futures are? I'm curious to know how they differ from traditional bitcoin futures contracts and how they might benefit investors or traders. Do they allow for more flexibility in terms of trading size and position limits? Also, how are they priced and settled, and what kind of market participants typically engage in these micro futures contracts? Lastly, are there any specific risks or considerations investors should be aware of before trading in CME micro bitcoin futures?
